That's what She Said

Sometimes I live in the land of lost conversations around here. I tell my kids to do something and they deny that I ever said a thing. I have entire conversations with Dave and he says it was all in my head.

Now, it's true that some conversations I have with my family do happen entirely (or partially) in my head...but they're the conversations that I invite them into after, and only after, I've already gotten myself totally riled up by what the imaginary them said to me in my head. Yup, those conversations always end well....

Anyway, I'm thinking I'm going to adopt a nonverbal system of communicating with my family. You know, texting or in a note pad. Something I can refer back to as evidence. I think my family will balk at the idea at first, but once they realize how quiet the house is without my constant yammering, they'll surely embrace it.

I'll let you know how it goes.

P.S. OK, OK, full disclosure: my family does hear and respond to a lot of what I say...it's just those silly ones where they don't that stick out in my mind...I'm neurotic like that.

ABOUT ME

My name is Kali Parsons and I absolutely love to create. I paint or sew almost every single day and have been doing so since 2011. I use a wide range of media including acrylic, watercolor, ink, charcoal, collage, and textiles (I love to upcycle when I create!!!!). I'm inspired by both wonder and challenge and hope to bring joy and provoke deep thought with my work. My original paintings are available on my Daily Paintworks site and prints are available on my Etsy site. I frequently sell my art to fundraise for organizations close to my heart. Please subscribe to my blog if you'd like to receive my blog via email.
